We actually popped it in all 3 matches. We are pretty sure the first time was because our driver started pushing for too long, and that gearing does not do well pushing. After that, I think it had worn our breaker, because the 2 matches after that the breaker blew pretty early in the match. So we learned 2 lessons. If you pop the breaker, replace it immediately. And if you want to gear that high, it would be a good idea to have shifters. We are looking at maybe running shifters this fall, swiching between 10 fps in the sweet spot, where we never blew once, and 15+ fps for the sprints when we need to.
